[council] Nominating Committee Draft Input

[James M. Bladel]

Hi Avri.   Good thoughts.

How do you (and others) recommend we proceed?  I realize that voting is a non-starter on WGs when testing for consensus, but is it a requirement for actions or statements from the Council?

Sincerely curious---

J.

Hi,

I am in somewhat of a quandary on this.  I am not bothered by the Nomcom proposal.

- i do not think it hampers diversity.  And while I understand that the representation of business was lowered, the representation of non commercials was not lowered and thus I object to indicating that the proposal does so. The current representation of business on the nomcom is disproportionate at this point and I support eliminating this double representation of big and little business; this historical double representation of the business constituency is not something I can support. I strongly support bringing Nomcom support for the GNSO into line with the SG model.

- i support equal footing in representation of the various SG, as well as SOAC

- I so not see a problem with the representational model

But my SG may indeed be more in agreement with what is written than me, I believe they may support the continued exclusion of the GAC as well.

The only thing that bothers me about the proposal is that they set out to make the Nomcom smaller and they instead made it bigger.

I am uncomfortable at this point with calling the opinion unanimous, and  though I expect it has consensus we should wait to see if that is indeed the case.
